Quick Witted Compliment

Type of Game: Morale Builder

Group size: 10+
Approximate time: 15-20 minutes
Props: Your imagination!
Basic Objective: Split into two teams, and set the scene for an interesting
showdown of thoughtfulness. Each team has to line up and send the first
player in line into a fiery battle of quick wits against the opponent.
Instructions:
- Split the large group into two equal teams.
- The team leader says a letter, and the two opponents have to think of
a [complimentary] adjective describing the other person in the shortest
amount of time.
- There is no helping!
- The loser (the person who takes longest to answer) is recruited to the
winners team.
- Once the winning team has everyone, the game is over.
Variations: Allow the two teams to think of an adjective that describes
themselves rather than their opponent for self-growth & self-image.
Debrief: No set debrief. Open Discussion.
Notables: Debrief Talking Points.
